We love retro games that entertain us, and creating new challenges for them that breathes new life into these old classics. We love to challenge the impossible and define the future. We like to have fun, to drink, eat, and play games.

At Antstream we work hard to ensure you have a life outside of the fun in the office. What does that mean? Well to start with your office can be in the comfort of your own home. Whilst Antstream has a stunning office space right in the heart of London, we know that sometimes you need your own space to create. And when you need to collaborate face to face we have a great office space to do just this. We also have a development process that smartly works with you and your abilities, and ensures you remain as energised as you did when you first walked into the Antstream office.

Share options are granted following successful completion of your probationary period.
